Just went back for my second time and really enjoyed it! Went for happy hour and it was great. Our servers were awesome, the food was delicious and the vibe was nice and chill (only complaint is I don't like high chairs without a back and that's mostly what they have...). -House margarita was good -The squash bombs were delicious -Tinga nachos were good -Loved the carrot mole taco -Carne asada taco was great Will definitely be back! read more

This used to be one of my favorite happy hour spots in town...so good and reasonable. Prices have doubled since Covid. I hadn't been in a while but tonight had two margaritas and three tacos and it was $60. It used to be about $30. Ridiculous. Not that special for a $60 happy hour. Additionally, I was looking at the menu on Google and it has all of their old happy hour pricing which included tacos as well on happy hour. Our waitress saw me looking at that menu and didn't correct me to tell me that was no longer the right menu so we were a bit shocked when the bill came and it was $100 for us both without tip. Tacos are no longer on happy hour pricing either. And the margs that used to be $5.50 during happy hour are now $9 dollars. Disappointing. read more

Always great food and tasty drinks! We love their happy hour and the staff is always friendly. Can't go wrong if you're looking for some bomb tacos and a margarita! read more

Sooo good! I'm usually so picky, so I was underwhelmed by one taco, but even that was pretty solid! I'm only knocking off a star because I think they are like $0.50 overpriced for the tacos. Here's what I had: APP - Classic Guak: a spicy take on guacamole and flavorful. I liked that they don't give a boatload of chips, but still more than you need (the star is the guak afterall) TACOS - Beer Battered Shrimp: Love shrimp. And this was reaaally yummy. Would order again. - Chicken Tinga: Okay, I ordered this because I was gonna have a drink or two and worried I'd regret not having a third taco. I really like chicken but I usually find restaurant chicken dishes underwhelming. This. Wasn't. Seriously? The best of the three? I really enjoyed it. I'd order this again. - Boomers: The mushroom taco. Honestly, I'm a biiig mushroom fan, and not even fancy ones, so this was the one I was most excited about. And I feel like the toppings... they didn't clash per se, I don't know that they were super complimentary, and I think too much toppings were included to the point that it overwhelmed what was also a meh preparation of mushrooms. I was underwhelmed. I don't think I'd order this again, especially because the price point was just so high for mushrooms. Anyway, a really great place! I really enjoyed the food, the doubled up corn tortillas were really good, the taste is great, and obviously, you've seen pictures, the presentation is enticing (and not just for show! The tastes and textures work really well together). read more

We've been here a couple of times now and it has been a pretty good experience each time. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, the staff is always friendly and the food is quite tasty. They have a fun assortment of salsas with seasoned chips and their guak is delicious. For this latest trip we happened upon their brunch hour which was great because I didn't even know they did brunch and I couldn't love anything more than tasting a new breakfast burrito, lol! Of course we started with some afternoon bevvies, their Bloody was pretty tasty as was the house marg. Then onto the guak which was great, loved the seasoned chips. My BF ordered the Tinga, Barbacoa and OMFG tacos and he said they were all pretty good. I think the OMFG was his least favorite because it just had too many flavors that he couldn't taste the tuna but still good... I had The Donkey Tonk (breakfast burrito) with bacon and it was delicious. I think I would order with sauce on the side next time but that is just a me thing, I don't love smothered stuff because I don't love sogg and I really love to taste the tortilla. Really delicious and filling though and their bacon is on point. I was dying I was so full but of course made sure to get all the bacon out, lol. Really delicious and was surprised and happy that it wasn't insanely busy at brunch time on a Sunday afternoon so I will definitely be returning soon!! read more

Tacos are amazing! I've tried most of them, you can't go wrong! Service is great staff is friendly and attentive. The ambiance is inviting, with the dim lighting, they have outside seating available and the bar of course. read more

We wandered in from out of town and loved everything about this place. The food was scrumptious, server was attentive and the vibe was upbeat and fun. Will return on our next trip! read more

Overall impression: delicious, a little pricey, great outdoor ambience. Guak was great. Salsa had a rich, smokey chipotle flavor which was also delicious. Favorite tacos were the OMFG (literally OMFG, stole the show, best taco of the night), cremini mushroom, and the monthly special (a fish taco). Steak taco was ok. Passion fruit and thyme margarita was potent and delicious. Outdoor seating was lovely and staff were prompt, courteous, helpful, and all around great. It seemed like the music was a bit loud indoors, but would need to sit there for a full meal to fully know. We will definitely be back! read more

Dos Santos's is only 3 stars for me, meaning a-ok. I wasn't overly impressed by the tacos I tried and they no longer do taco Tuesday. A co-worker raved about how great it was and I just don't get it. Prices were steep and the quality of chewy carne asada I received should be in the price point of $2 and not $4.50 per taco.. that's right, $4.50. Service was average, even at lunch time when the restaurant was only half full. Enjoyed the outside patio tables though, maybe I will just come for the guacamole and a margarita next time. read more

Dos Santos is where it's at!!! Love love love their food and margs. The only thing that is a bummer is that you cannot order all of their items for delivery. The birria tinga is by far the best and cannot have it delivered. Monday happy hour is where it's at!! Wu Tang Wed is by far the best idea ever!! read more

Yes please! Lucked into a table right away on a busy night. Extra delightful good fortune, but would have been worth the wait just the same. Great service from everyone- especially Devanta who is a fabulous ray of sunshine. :) Fastest arrival of food on the planet! I swear I only just thought about my next taco, and it was there. Truly mysterious how quickly food arrived. Happy fun place, deeelicous hibiscus mezcal margs, very yummy creative taco options, and also loved the classic crispy ground beef option (the fanciest version of my nostalgic childhood comfort food). I also love to order small bites until I'm full- and still don't have any leftovers. This spot is perfect for that very specific plan of mine. Love it! Will definitely be back when I'm in Denver again. Just visited, but still craving Dos Santos despite having been back home for 2 weeks. read more

One of the best taco spots in town. Not authentically Mexican... more Baja or hipster style. Always the freshest ingredients. An assortment of seafood and other tacos available. Love the ahi tuna tacos. Their veggie tacos, which rotate often, are bomb as well. Also love the aguachile (soooooo good!) and the shrimp tacos. read more

I can only speak for the carne asada and margaritas because that is what I get every time. It's just so darn delicious! I love the themes they have daily and difference music they play. It really creates a vibe and a lot of nostalgia if you grew up with techno or hip hop. Staff are friendly and attentive. Weekends they are pretty crowded. I enjoy coming during the week. Their happy hour is also pretty reasonable. read more

I'll admit after a year of trying other gourmet, a-la-carte taco places, Dos Santos can't be beat! :-D The latest visit had me dreaming about Chilakation the night of, lol. That dish should be called O.M.F.G. instead of the OMFG taco (which is also good, just not sure if it was worth the Market Price) read more

Been here a couple of times for Happy Hour! Good margs and food. The poke bites are delicious and so are their chips and guac! Only two things that make this a 4-star 1- one time I had to ask for my quesadilla three times over the course of an hour+ before I got it. 2- the music inside is SO loud my friend and I were basically shouting at each other. I'll still be back for happy hour on the patio! read more

Service was absolutely horrible. It took 1.5 hours for them to get out 6 street tacos and they forgot one. read more

Was excited to try this place tonight as I just moved into the area but was bummed with my experience. We ordered everything at once as soon as we sat down because we were starving. Got the appetizer right away but with no plates, napkins, or silverware. They were the meaty chips so it was a bit gross to navigate them w our fingers. We had to ask the host for napkins because our server was no where to be found. Waitress checked in at the 30 minute mark saying the kitchen was busy which is understandable. Once an hour had passed we flagged down the waitress and she said probably ten more minutes. At that point, we just left. Some advice I would give - let us know that you are slammed and food is going to take a while before we sit down. Check in with us and maybe offer chips. The only reason she did offer chips was after we were clearly frustrated and at that point it was too late so we went to Qdoba instead. read more

We got there when they first opened, music was blaring (in a good way), we had our choice of where to sit and our waitress was on top of it. We ordered a few different tacos and they were outstanding. I loved the mushroom one, I know, sounds weird but it really was delicious!! The steak had a wonderful flavor to it and was nice and tender. Overall, I would go back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE HIBISCUS MARGARITA!!! Make sure to get it with a sugar rim and you won't be disappointed at all!! read more

Love this food but unfortunately the service is where I have to say farewell. The place is nice and looks rustic but I get tired of looking at the wall and not at my food. Its almost as if they seat you then attend to everything but the tables. Recently when I came here I sat at my table no joke for 20 minutes and nobody even came and asked if we wanted drinks, so we got up and left and ate nextsoor at white pie. read more

Visited twice on a recent trip to Denver. My sister in law recommended Dos Santos and boy was she right. I absolutely lover the ahi tuna nachos and tinga chips. Both are great options to munch on while having a nice chat. They were extra good paired with a nice margarita. As for mains, we tried different tacos and each one was as wonderful as the previous. Chicken, Steak, Mushrooms, OMFG. Truly lovely. Not cheap, but the high level ingredients and vibe is totally worth it. Patio seating was my favorite. Weather was perfect to hang outside and enjoy all Dos Santos has to offer! read more

A great place for margaritas and street tacos. The music can get a little loud some nights, but the outside patio is lovely.

First time here but I've heard about it. The tacos were awesome. We tried five total and all were great. Our bartender Sydney was very accommodating and had a great vibe. read more

My friends and I wandered in while exploring the area and looking for a nice spot to have some drinks. I am so glad we did because the drinks here did not disappoint and were delicious! Unfortunately we did not order any food because we were still full from the brunch we had prior to coming to Dos Santos. We will certainly be returning to try to food as well though because the menu looked as equally exciting as the drinks were. Service was good and the inside had a pleasant vibe to it! read more

Dos Santos - Hibiscus margarita - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Smaller place but very big flavor! I had a Tommy's House Margarita, served in a jar with sugar not salt :) very good and strong. Ordered the chips and salsa with a side of guacamole to start with. Not a fan of the chips, weird seasoning that was all over them.... very spicy and not in a good way. Unfortunately no plain chips here, to bad cause the salsa and guacamole are really good. Had to get the tacos, went with the Porky, Tinga and the Del Mar (shrimp) They were all very good and tasty but the Del Mar was so good we had to order another one and split it!! So much flavor packed into this taco.... yum yum yum. read more

Happy Hour all day on Mondays! $4 drinks (margarita, Paloma, mule, tequila shot). I definitely recommend the Paloma. Made with San pelligrino sparkling white grapefruit juice and a salted rim. Delicious, strong, and easy to drink. I'm a big fan of their chips (thin, crispy, and heavily spiced with chili powder) and classic guacamole. So good! Just needs a little salt. The tacos are so incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. The chicken Tinga are out of this world tender and juicy and spicy. The steak taco has so many amazing flavors going on and tons of bright citrus. The vegetarian taco is always rich and earthy; the Del mar crisp and fresh. And the cotija cheese adds that perfect amount of salt and cool relief. Oh! Don't forget the eskites (little grilled corn on the cob pieces with tons of lime, cotija cheese, and spices). They're phenomenal every time. Great little patio, comfy bar inside, stellar prices for food made with care. You can see for yourself that it's made with care because the kitchen is entirely exposed and you can watch the chefs cook. It's the best!! read more

Kelly had this place bookmarker before we even departed for Denver. Kudos to her for pointing us in the right direction for our first meal in Denver! The interior is quite small, but they sure do pack in people. They also have an outdoor gated patio. I would never think to bring kids here, but soo many young couple brought their kids from tiny toddlers to about 10.... I mean it,.... So many kids here. I was shocked! Anyhow, I was dying to try their guac. Unfortunately I did not find it enjoyable. Mostly because the chips that accompany it have a smoky spicy taste. I did ask the server if plain chips were available, but to no avail. I really felt these smoky chips ruined the experience of both the salsa and the guac. Ended up eating the rest of the guac with a fork. =( Honestly the guac wasn't the impressive either. All the yelp photos I had been checking out looked amazing. Order 4 tacos: Tinga, Del Mar (fried shrimp), Porky, and Arrachera (steak). Del Mar = AMAZING!!!! Nom Nom! Tinga = the most disappointing Porky = pretty good Arrachera = Just ok In the future I want to try the O.M.F.G.: Raw tuna, lime cilantro aioli, pickled onion, avocado, cabbage, bib lettuce tortilla. Wish I wasn't so stuffed from the other tacos. read more

Tacos, Margaritas and Chips and Queso on the back patio? Sounds like a great Saturday afternoon to me! This place came highly recommended by a former co-worker and man was he right. When it's 75 degrees outside, you can't pass up sitting outside and taking it all in. I ordered what the waiter recommended, which was an aguachile tostada. A crisp tostada topped with ceviche style shrimp, avocado slices, cucumber, radish, slaw, crema and sauce. Delicious! I then had the steak taco in a lettuce wrap which came recommended by Mr. Waiter. Fantastic, crisp and soooo decadent. My hubby ordered the fried fish taco which he loved the most, steak taco and chicken tinga taco. All of this was devoured alongside chips and queso which was unique. It was like a spicy cheese and cream cheese mix with a saucer of pepita salsa as well and their house made chili rubbed chips. The service was awesome, the drinks waaaay too strong at noon but I'll be back again! read more

KakakakakakaPayyyyoooooowwwwwww! Thank you Dos Santos for hitting this one way out of the park. When I first walked in I knew this place was legit. The hostess was seating another party that walked in right before me so when I walked up I didn't know who to speak to since there was no host stand. But that's ok. The young lady quickly greeted me and sat my party of 2 at a high-top near the bar. I'm so happy she seated us there. You can see the whole restaurant and yet you're still in the bar area and can see all the food action in the kitchen. We didn't have to wait to long before Micah, our server and also the bartender came over to take our drink order. I asked him what his favorite is and he said the Coco Fuego. I went with it before knowing exactly what I was getting into. My friend ordered a local beer. My Coco Fuego was fantastic. I had to go back and read the menu after taking my first sip because I wasn't prepared for the spice that filled my taste buds. The 3-pepper infused rum is outstanding. And I love that the drink isn't too sweet. The coconut water really balances the spice of everything else. I also love that it comes with a chili coated slice of pineapple. It was superb. Great choice, Micah. Next we ordered appetizers. I couldn't pass up on the Eskites. It reminded me of the corn I used to eat at the carnival that would come to town for 2 weeks in the summer and near about kill you with their rinky-dink rides. It was so good. I habanero aioli was soooo good. I wish I could've taken home a jar of that stuff. My friend ordered the pumpkin seed guaK. It was delicious. Definitely one of the better quak's in town. I loved the bits of fried cilantro on the top. For my first taco, I ordered a tostada-taco special for the night. I don't remember the name but it had ahi tuna, avocado, mango, and pickled cabbage on it. It was diving. Just like many other reviewers said, they pile on the filling. It was a little difficult to eat in bite sizes. I ended up breaking up the tostada and eating it with a fork. It was so good. My friend ordered the arrachera. Super simple, carne street taco-like. He said it was delicious. Again, super generous with the meat portions. Our second tacos, we both go the Tinga. I asked for extra tortillas just to see if they would make a fuss giving it to me, and partially cuz the taco is so big. Emma, I believe was the other bartender, brought the extras with no attitude. I was super impressed. Probably my favorite part of the night was the super bomb music I know Micah had a hand in selecting. Micah was a super chill, down-to-Earth and right-to-the-point kind of server. I could see him dancing behind the bar when a jam would come over the radio. Great tunes man. You played a variety and pretty much all genres that are on my iPod Shuffle. I love when people are having fun at work. I also love good music when I dine. All in all, I really really loved Dos Santos. I can't wait to take my friends back here. Food: 5 Drinks: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 read more

Excellent lunch here today. First time here and we both really enjoyed our tacos although the OMFG we both agreed was the best one. We also tried the Guac and chips with fruit. My husband enjoyed it but I thought the Guac needed more seasoning and more kick. I don't salt my food often but I thought it could really use some salt, garlic and lime juice. The house margarita was good and strong. I wish it had been bigger. The flan was awesome. It came topped with a chocolate dipped macaroon that they really should have just left off as ours seems like it had been frozen and was still hard so not quite room temp and soft. The actual flan and sauce however was outa sight! The service was quick and friendly. We will be back for the OMFG and the flan. read more
